Application

4-Aminophenol serves as a versatile compound with a variety of applications across different fields. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including the widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, Paracetamol. Beyond its significance in medicine, 4-Aminophenol is employed in the production of other pharmaceutical ingredients and industrial chemicals such as Acebutolol, Ambroxol, and Sorafenib. In industrial processes, it is used as a dye for textiles, hair, furs, and feathers, and a developing agent in black-and-white photography. Additionally, it functions as a corrosion inhibitor in paints and lubricants, and as a wood stain providing a rose-like color to timber. It also acts as a reagent for the analysis of metals and compounds, and as an important precursor in the production of rubber antioxidants. With its moderate solubility in alcohols and ability to be oxidized in the presence of a base, 4-Aminophenol is a valuable component in both chemical synthesis and analytical applications.
